India’s highest ranked men’s singles player Somdev Devvarman remained at last week’s 101st spot in the latest ATP rankings.
He had advanced thirteen spots last week on the back of a second round finish at the US Open, where he lost to Italy’s 20th seed Andreas Seppi.
The Tripura-born lad has been coming up with decent wins in recent times.
He performed exceedingly well at the recent ATP Citi Open in Washington, where he upset defending champion and world number 25 Alexandr Dolgopolov of Ukraine in the second round, before being slugged out by the big-serving American John Isner in the third round.
Somdev also made it to the semifinals of the ATP Nottingham Challenger tournament. Earlier this year, he attained a semifinal finish at the ATP Caltanissetta Challenger in Italy, as well as a second-round appearance at the French Open after going through the qualifying route.
